Queens of Fantasy Podcast

Thirteen books down, two to go. In this episode of the Queens of Fantasy podcast, the Queens finish off Book Twelve of the Wheel of Time, and they have a lot of thoughts. Marissa rants about Egwene's plot point and whether or not Gareth Bryne is perfect, perfect, perfect! Tay protects Egwene at all costs -- with all her feelings and no thoughts. You can expect yet another debate about balefire, an argument over the two-time Amyrlin Seat, and a few cheeky comments that would make a Green blush! In other words, get ready to read and discuss Chapter 39 to the end of Book Twelve of The Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

And, in honour of Halloween, the Queens wrap up this episode with a Halloween Party. Everyone from our main character list is invited, and we're even gonna guess their outfits. Queens Tay and Marissa end the episode by sharing their personal character rankings, as well as their official book reviews.
